    it would appear they're still shipping in bulk, one of the trains derailed today in missouri was 75 cars loaded with scrap metal headed south

    i'm also guessing copper prices may soon look a bit better after hearing one of chinas big copper mines was discovered to have a lot less reserves than expected

    Can you imagine the copper thefts if it hit $50 a lb.? Nothing would be safe.
